@gargiuvacha What a painfully boring article mr. Mukunth has penned. Makes zero sense

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

Read Keigo Higashino's masterpiece last night, and even though I’d already watched Jaane Jaan, the book’s heartbreaking ending still caught me off guard. had previously also read A Midsummer’s Equation by Higashino. Always brilliant!

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

Watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 with high expectations but was sadly, disappointed. Story line wasn't compelling enough. Hathaway, one of my favorite actors, was the weakest link for me. Her character didn’t seem to have evolved in 20 years. Just a so-so one-time watch. :(

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

Just finished @6amiji 's Why Are We This Way? It is simple, well-structured, and a great entry point into Sanatan literature. Reading it felt like revisiting a favourite subject. Perfect for beginners, especially young readers.

“Your Bloodline ISN’T Your Legacy” - @SadhguruJV CHALLENGES The Purpose Of Having Children

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@gargiuvacha Parents like you give me hope for the next generation :)

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@gargiuvacha If your own child wants to walk this path someday... Would you allow it?

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@bigfundu So beautifully articulated. We must set an example for the next generation by constantly striving to achieve success in whichever field we pursue. Rather than trying to pull down those who have succeeded, time we emulate their efforts and persistence

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@pbhushan1 @YouTube Excuse me sir. What credible source did you refer to while spreading such obviously blatant lies? And I'm sorry but a silly youtuber talking shit is not exactly the source you or anyone should be referring to.

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@shatakshij7 What went wrong was your
ability to fact check before posting on x. Good job peddling fake narratives. Learn to read some actual news rather than some idiot's delusional tweets

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@ShiningScience can you also link his work? Would love to go through it in more detail.

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@PratibhaPriyad3 Like clockwork, these detractors come out at Mahashivratri to hurl all their pent up toxicity around. It's a free country, if someone wants to sell something, it's their choice. If someone wants to buy something, it's their choice. Why make it such a big deal?

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

While all the king's horses and all the king's men
Were choosing to get high on substance
@sza chose to get high on Shiva Shambho!
Hats off to her devotion and spirit. Didn't know her before but certainly a fan now :)

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@MaaSutara @SadhguruJV There is a very clear agenda to defame Sadhguru and Sanatan Dharma. These idiots are ready to even spend so much money to achieve their ends.

[TheMaunderer @TMaunderer]

@ShyamMeeraSingh You have blurred only the faces of the boys entering the suryakund and left the faces of the girls unblurred later during their yoga practices to deliberately mislead people. Shows your ill intent. As many have pointed out, children here, irrespective of gender, grow their hair.

Centuries before passports or digital IDs, language itself was the passport.

If you could think, debate, and learn in Sanskrit, the doors of knowledge opened across cultures.

During the time of Faxian and Xuanzang, Sanskrit was the medium of higher learning in Indian universities like Nalanda University.

Chinese Buddhist students learned Sanskrit to gain admission, much like clearing TOEFL today to study abroad.

It’s humbling to realise how an ancient academic system quietly set the conceptual foundation for today’s global education norms.

vc to the respective owners.

BREASTMILK
She thought she was studying milk.
What she uncovered was a conversation.

In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away.

Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein.
Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances.

It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus.

Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence.
But Katie trusted the data.

And the data pointed to a radical idea.

Milk is not just nutrition.
It is information.

For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby?

Katie kept digging.

Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone.

The babies who drank it grew faster.
They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious.

Milk wasn’t just building bodies.
It was shaping behavior.

Then came the discovery that changed everything.

When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it.

Within hours, the milk changes.

White blood cells surge.
Macrophages multiply.
Targeted antibodies appear.

When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline.

This was not coincidence.
It was call and response.

A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen.

As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition.

The first food every human consumes.
The substance that shaped our species.
Largely ignored.

So she did something bold.

She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk.
It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped.

The discoveries kept coming.

Milk changes by time of day.
Foremilk differs from hindmilk.
Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria.
Every mother’s milk is biologically unique.

In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health.

The implications are staggering.

Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced.

Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk.
She revealed that nourishment is intelligence.
A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak.

All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.”

Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

Ever wondered why a dosa turns out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside? The secret goes far beyond culinary instinct driven by physics.
In an authored article for @dt_next @iitmadras, Prof. Mahesh Panchagnula unpacks the science behind this everyday magic. The familiar practice of sprinkling water on a hot pan before pouring the batter is actually a test rooted in the Leidenfrost Effect—a phenomenon formally identified in 18th-century Germany but intuitively mastered in Indian kitchens for generations.

When the tawa isn’t hot enough, water just sits and evaporates slowly. But at the ideal temperature, droplets glide and “dance” across the surface, floating on a thin vapour layer. This same effect prevents dosa batter from sticking, allowing it to spread evenly and crisp up beautifully at the edges.

So the next time you hear that sizzle, remember: making the perfect dosa is not just tradition—it’s a brilliant interplay of temperature, vapour, and technique.

QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IS FASCINATING

Imagine having your blood drawn and placing a drop in two tiny glass dishes. Then, you let these drops of blood completely dry out over days in light and air, until any biological process has completely ceased.

You leave one sample in Klagenfurt and transport the other to a lab in Vienna.

In Vienna, you use an incredibly expensive laboratory scale that can measure within a glass cylinder in a sealed environment with an accuracy of 1/10,000th of a milligram.

You place the dish with the dried blood drop on this scale, and over the course of a week, the weight is carefully monitored and recorded by a connected computer. After a few minutes, the weight will stabilize at a value that we will consider irrelevant for now.

This value will be our baseline weight. After one week, you will notice that this baseline value remains unchanged—provided the lab is built free of any vibrations—meaning nothing has happened to the weight.

In Klagenfurt, you do the exact same experiment in a second lab, and similarly, there is no change in weight. After one week, you add three drops of a nutrient solution—used to cultivate bacterial growth—to the dried blood sample in the scale, thereby biologically reactivating the blood.

Naturally, the dish with the blood drop now weighs about 0.15 grams more because three drops of nutrient solution have been added.

We redefine this new weight in Klagenfurt as our baseline again and observe what happens. For the first few hours, the weight remains steady. Then, after about a day, the weight begins to rise in the range of 1/1,000th of a milligram.

With each passing day, it continues to increase. According to classical physics, this shouldn't happen, since it's a closed system where nothing can enter or escape. Classical physics has no explanation for this phenomenon.

Now here’s the spectacular part: The weight of the dried blood drop in Vienna also begins to increase! Yet nothing has been activated there—no nutrient solution was added, and it has remained completely untouched.

No one has even looked at the glass cylinder. The weight in Vienna rises in exactly the same way and at exactly the same time as the sample in Klagenfurt.

Spooky, you say?

Chemist and physicist Dr. Klaus Volkamer conducted exactly such experiments. He discovered the existence of subtle matter, which he substantiated through experiments like this. Whenever life begins to emerge, so to speak, subtle matter is attracted to coarse physical matter.

In other words: The subtle matter breathes life into the coarse physical matter. This subtle matter carries all information and is part of consciousness. It structures itself in quanta.

The smallest unit is the cell, the next is a group of cells, such as a heart, and even humans, the Earth, or our galaxy are units of this subtlety—all entities with consciousness, all connected to one another.

The communication between these subtle quanta occurs at speeds millions of times faster than light, passing through all physical matter or vacuums, and it does not follow the laws of Einstein's theory of relativity.

The fact that the two blood drops in Klagenfurt and Vienna communicate over a distance of more than 300 kilometers is due to what is called physical entanglement of subtle units.

Blood itself, like an organ, is an entity of its own. Whether the distance is 3,000 kilometers or 3 million kilometers, the result would be the same.

I agree with you—it remains eerie, especially because it was a "dead" drop of blood.
